What factors affect the rate of reaction between limestone and acid? Introduction. For my year 10 chemistry coursework I will be investigating how fast the rate of reaction is when hydrochloric acid is added to calcium carbonate (lime stone) when varying the strength of the acid. When the acid id added to the lime stone a chemical reaction shall occur, thus producing carbon dioxide as the product. I will measure this through the experiment frequently in each test. I shall be doing this as I am trying to see which acid is the most and least affective. Carbon dioxide, the gas produced, will be measured in millimetres. The limestone that I shall be using in my experiment is 1.0g hard rocks of limestone Rates of reaction For a chemical reaction to occur, the particles of the reactants come together with a certain amount of energy. This is called the activation energy. The speed of...
